Tequila Anyone?

If you haven't made Cinco de Mayo plans yet, we suggest the AgaveFest taking place at Hotel Congress tomorrow. It promises to be both intoxicating and informative, and from the sounds of it, you'll be able to tie on a pretty good buzz for about $20.

Aaron DeFeo, who runs the beverage program at Hotel Congress, says more than 45 tequilas, mescals and other agave-based liquors will be featured, and tequila experts from several companies will be on hand to answer questions.

The first question I’d like to ask is how anyone is expected to get to work on Thursday when Hotel Congress holds awesome events like this on a Wednesday.

Samples of cocktails made with flavor-infused tequilas will also be featured, and there's an optional dinner being offered across the street at Maynards Market and Kitchen.
